   is there like ... a "cursed platform" game jam specifically for making games that run on platforms that were never meant for games?

   here's a tetris that runs inside vim: https://github.com/alec-gibson/nvim-tetris
   maybe a game that runs on arduino? some puzzle you can play inside a spreadsheet? a tic-tac-toe you play using your remote on a hacked television?

   I'd join something like that in a heartbeat

     @technomancy It's so funny that Tetris in vim is cursed, and in Emacs, it's just another part of the install.

     There's a thriving IBM XT/286 game community. ;)
